Malcolm McLaren's 'Paris' album was a treat for jazz fans and francophiles alike.... however, just about everyone else, including respectable critics, thought it was cheesy, pretentious or didn't know what to make of it. But I come from the francophile side, followed by the jazz side, and I thought it was (mostly) fantastic. "In The Absence Of The Parisienne" is a great jazz track with Satie style piano and some sweet jazz percussion. But what does it for me is the looped strings (I presume it is looped strings) track. Even his voice can't ruin this one. Merci Monsieur McLaren.
